Chapter 83: Guo Hao Stews Chicken Soup!
An award from headquarters?
Everyone was very excited when they heard this and started cheering.
"Haha, thank you, boss!"
"Brother Hao, how much bonus are you going to give out?"
"Awesome! I love being praised!"
Everyone was chattering excitedly, each offering their own opinion.
Guo Hao lightly pressed his hands down and said with a smile:
"It's very simple, everyone, don't rush."
"The reward will be presented in the form of a bonus. I cannot disclose the specific amount, but it will be deposited directly into your account."
"The prize money will arrive next month, which means that regardless of whether you win the finals or not, you will receive the prize money."
Nice!
This reward is indeed very practical; it's a direct cash payment, and it will arrive in your account next month. There's no fluff involved, which is great.
Everyone was very happy.
Mark asked with a smile, "Brother Hao, if we win the championship, will we get another bonus?"
Guo Hao laughed loudly: "Is that even a question?"
"It's not just the headquarters that should reward everyone, but also the club's bonuses, Tencent Esports' bonuses, and the prize money from the competition itself."
"I won't go into the obvious details, but more importantly, your commercial value will increase dramatically after winning the championship!"
"Jack and Tian will become the only two LPL players to win the World Championship twice. Just think about the commercial value of that."
"This doesn't even include the money from selling skins, so I won't say any more."
Everyone is full of longing.
Gao Tianliang and Jack Lawu both had their eyes shining.
They made it all the way to the finals, and they certainly didn't have time to calmly think about this issue.
If they actually win the championship, they will become two-time world champions.
Suddenly, its historical status in the LPL rose to the top two.
If Gao Tianliang wins another FMVP, he will be a double FMVP champion and be crowned the greatest jungler in history.
If JackeyLove wins two World Championship titles, he might not be able to surpass Bang and become the greatest ADC of all time, but if he also wins the Finals MVP, everything will change.
Winning another championship would bring the biggest change to these two, and they are both very much looking forward to it.
Mark and Left Hand are also full of expectations. As long as they win the championship, their historical status in the LPL will be unshakable.
The calmest one was Lin Jin. He knew that even if he won the championship, he would still be criticized if he didn't perform well afterwards.
Historical status is meaningless if you can't surpass Faker's number of championships.
Even if you become the best in the LPL.
Guo Hao continued with a smile:
"So, let's all work hard, brothers! A bright future awaits you all!"
Although it may seem like a pie in the sky, the pie is right in front of us; if we reach out, we can actually reach it.
So everyone was like they'd been injected with adrenaline, continuing to work hard, playing ranked matches like crazy to maintain their skills, and studying replays and enemy strategies like madmen.
This mobilization meeting was a great success.
The team leader also gave Lin Jin a thumbs up.
He's a really good manager.
That's why Guo Hao is known as "the most outspoken person in the world".
In the past two days, Top Esports' overall training enthusiasm has been very high, which has directly affected the coaching staff and other personnel.
They are all very dedicated and willingly work overtime.
Even the operations team staff voluntarily worked overtime to edit videos.
I'll try to edit more female vlogs, release more content, and gain more followers before the finals.
The sparring team ended two days before the finals.
Top Esports also expressed its gratitude to other clubs and LPL officials who provided assistance.
Although it wasn't made public, sharp-eyed netizens still noticed some clues.
Xiao Hu, 369, and Ya Gao often log in to their accounts at four or five in the morning and stop at noon.
Furthermore, several screenshots of training matches were leaked, and as everyone knows, this is a practice team organized by the LPL, acting as practice partners for Top Esports to identify problems.
Immediately, netizens expressed their opinions.
"Wow, when did the LPL become so united?"
"Are they truly united in purpose and shared a common hatred for the enemy?"
"I find it hard to believe. Is the LPL really that harmonious?"
"Does Top Esports really have that much influence? That other clubs are willing to act as their sparring partners?"
"I have to say, the players who act as sparring partners are truly amazing."
"Yes, they gave up their vacation and even worked as sparring partners without getting paid. They really made a selfless sacrifice."
"Haha, EDG also made it to the finals last year, why didn't we see any LPL sparring partners?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, indeed, EDG's biggest traitor."
"Top Esports does have good relationships with other clubs, that goes without saying."
"Nothing more to say, simply magnificent!"
"Top Esports, let's win the championship!"
To allow Top Esports to focus on preparing for the finals, the LPL officials did not disclose the existence of their practice team, lest it be analyzed excessively by the LCK.
At this moment, in the DRX team's temporary training room.
BeryL, the support player, also expressed his opinion:
"We are currently severely lacking in scrimmages. I previously suggested that other teams could put together a team to play against us."
The coach waved his hand: "This suggestion was rejected a long time ago. There's no hope for it. Don't even think about it anymore."
BeryL frowned slightly: "Then we'll just have to play ranked games ourselves. If that doesn't work, we can call the second team over to play together."
"But the second team is not of equal strength, and they also need to prepare for the CK League matches," said Deford.
The coach nodded: "I can try to get that done. Or we could mix up the first and second teams and combine them for a match. That should be possible."
Everyone agreed.
After the coach left, BeryL said with great emotion, "It feels like we're facing the entire LPL this time, when we're facing Top Esports."
Kingen laughed and said, "Are you scared?"
"Although Top Esports beat us in the group stage, we are no longer the DRX we were in the group stage."
"We will definitely defeat them in the finals!"
Dai Ford also said:
"Yes, now that we've come this far, let's bravely move forward."
"The championship will definitely belong to us!"
The DRX team also perked up.
However, BeryL always felt that the joint training with the second team was not effective.
After finishing the game, he opened the ranked matches and saw the rankings while queuing. Lin Jin, who was originally in third place, had risen to second.
They're only sixteen points behind first place.
Moreover, he is still queuing, which means that if Lin Jin wins the next match, he will top the North American server!
In this way, Lin Jin became the first professional player to reach the top of both the Korean and North American servers!
This is terrifying!
It's not that they're afraid of Lin Jin's strength, but that if this happens, Top Esports' fighting spirit and the LPL's momentum will reach their peak!
We must find a way to stop him!
BeryL immediately selected ranked mode and joined the queue with him.
He's currently ranked in the fifties on the North American server, and theoretically he should be able to get into the top tier.
At the same time, he also called on his teammates to start queuing together, determined to stop Lin Jin from reaching the top of the North American server!
Soon, by fate and the scriptwriter's arrangement, BeryL was assigned to the next slot, and Fire was right across from him.
"Haha, watch me break your winning streak!"
